14 VARIETY Kiv« C<»luiublaiiri, Uovy auU Lvt, J. C- Nugent Jk. Co. and blograph. bTATE ST. (F. B. ShaltorB. nigr.).—Nuw Yurk Star^, burlesque, 18, 10, 20, lo "A Day at Niagara Falla" and "Fun In the 8ub> Tcay," both burlosques, pleased. In the oleo Uayinond and Clayton, fair act; Fredericks Broa. and Burn!), in their uiuHloal act xcored big; Bonita iiud her Cul'an and African midgets, made good; Howe and Soott, two real Ilebrewa, belof the kniK'kout la the show. Bualnesa big. r. O. FI8HBR. Danvar, CJol. (By Telegraph.) ORPHBUM (MarUn Heck, gen. man.)—Lugi K(i8Hi and hb> nuiHi<«l horfM> Bniir, wa» one of the iittrneiion*' jiid ni.ide u luurli lMU»>r impres- sion tl.an tlie i'kuhI animal act. The horse is un- ittiiially Intelligent, the act is well set up and Im worked without unneoeHHary delay. It made a real hit. Iloraky. Bergere & t'o. are seen in "He, She and He." whUh Is one of Will Cresay's worst efforts. The sketeh is talky and uninterest- ing, and the only merit lies In the acting, which la a little better than fair. There was a forced recall but no real hit. Clayton Kennedy and Mattie Roon«y In "The Happy MtMllum." was one of the few passably good acts on a bill of le'»8 than average merit. In consequence they went well and scored a hit at the curtain clone. Dooley. Brenner and R(»«e as "the clubman and the danc ing girls." got througii larg* ly on the strength of Dooley's aupreme nerve. He convinced th- audience that he was tx'tter 'ban he was. and an a result aecure<I a curtain call and repaid with bunco. The Sisters Pearl and Diamant In Span- ish dances, offered a lot of costumes in poor taste. As individuala they are good dancers, hut the team work waa poor and the effect was an- convlncing. Klekko and Fravoll, vocaliats, were lamentaldy weak. Their voices are worn and their bad singing was made still worse by noor taste in selections. Tlie "Count" de Bute and brother, billed as Parisian cyclists, were the best act on the bill, and tlie tx-st cycle act seen hce in a very long time. Not only did they win popular approval, but deserved it—which some- times Is a very different thing. They did a big huslneas In spite of a poor bill. NOVELTY.— The Five Lovelanda are the beat at the Novelty this week. The Diamond Comedy Four also de- nerve notice. Tiiey are lioth "dimer" beadliners, but they are gornl. There Is a g<HMl bill at tlje Cr>-stal. with no iniportnnt names. .\t the Orpheum next week the Orp»\euni Bond Show will l>e the at traction, when go<Ml entertainment Is promised. JAMES R. NOLAND.

Dnlny Harcourt, direct from the Tlvoll, I»ndon <aee<irding to the pro- gram), is the real hit of the bill. She sings several catchy songs and tlie a<t as a whole is real pleasing and refreshing. Lew Hawkins is telling the same old stories; lie has a couple of Fongs that make a hit. The Magnanl Family gave a elever musical turn. Caprice, Lynn and Fay, three girls, very gfKMl Hinging and dancing act. De K(H' Trio, aerobatles. Introduced some feats In head to head balan.ing. The motion pictures were short, but good.

Wells and De Crott, in singing spe(inlf|ps. and George X. Wilson, as- sisted by Cam I lie de Monvllle, In a comedy playlet, styled "A Thanksgiving Eve," furnisTieil splendid entertainment. The company played to large houses and jtUe performance altogether was a very clever one. Vaudeville featurea at the Orpheum continue to make this playhouse aa pop* ular as ever. Big acts direct from Kelth'a are brought here with each change of bill, and are meeting witii great favor. The Bard Bros., whose iionie IS in this dty, astonished their townsmen Willi tlielr diltlcult acrobatic feats. The Luti Bros., armless wonclerM, in a musical and novelty act, proved a atroug attraction. Wilmington, Del. GAKHICK (W. L. !>ock?tader, pr.vp. and mgr.) —Fine.Ht business in history of the house, 22. Archie Boyd & Co., in a playlet entitled "After Many Years." have first place, and Mr. Boyd, In a familiar farmer part, pleases the most exacting critics. Burke.

SPOT. New Orleans, La. ORPHEUM (.Martin Beck, gen. mgr.).—Marshall P. Wilder Is the "piece de resistance" for week 22. He lias some funny stories and tells them In his own iieculiar way. Galbreatte and Farrell are piano players and singers. Their rendition of ".NolMsly" was the l»est tiling in their act. Worhl Comedy P'our are rough-house performers. With some <iever business their act would go bet- ter. .Mr. and .Mrs. Alfred Kelcy are offering a sketch, called "Brewing Trouble." that is some- wli.it draggy. When Marian Garson drops some of her inaniierisms she will be much better than a lot of these so-called prima donnas. The Hengler Sisters are "plrouettlsts" of marke<l ability. They sliould «ut their singing and do a straight danclnjr act. Finlay and Burke are fair. Business is big. Bill week 20 Includes Salerno, Mignonette Koklii. <;alette's Monkeys, Tourists' Trio, Edsall and Korltes. Lavinla De Witt and Dixon and Fields.

U. o. prevails on Sunday with fair houses during llie week. Al. Reeves Beauty Show, 2Sth. SAMUELS. Waterbury, Conn. .I.XCgl'KS (J. W. Fltzpatrbk. nigr.).^The bill at this house was not up to the average. Tlie headlliier. Sniaun, Sing Hpoo. "The Little Black .Man," made a hit, as did Sherman and DeForest in their skit, "Tlie Fall of Port Arthur." This last act closed the show, and was one of the pro- nounced hits of tlie bill. Another a< t which made go«Ml. though seen here before, was Mr. and Mrs. ttardner Crane In ".V Yankee's Love for Dixie." Mitchell and Marron. the Two Men Minstrels, seem content to repeat their former act. It would go better if pollslied up to date a bit. Miss Josie .\ntolnette depend<>i| on "kidding" certain persons in the audience for "kind applause." Her s<mgs were old, and she can't sing them. Pierce and opp who recently broke Into this business can sing, and should confine themselves to this more than to their dialect, which is all to the bad. Both members of the team are also clever dancers. Tliey will make gmsl. Baker and Robinson too'i the idace of .Musical Slmjison on the bill. The female member (>t the team carries the act with her contortion work. The electrograph chmed the show with some Interesting films.

Charles Leonard F'letcher presents a very interest- ing study from Dickens' works that meets with well earneil success. Amorals Sisters, in a Jug- gling and trap4'ze act, score strongly. Bruno and Russell, in a melange of comedy and music, share well with their unique offering. I>4»ria Trio, ex- cellent singers. Bryant and Savllle have the same old musical act. Cameron and Flanagan only fair. BrCKlNrJHAM (Whallen Bros., Props, and M'grs.).—.Tohn (irleves' Parisian Belles are "ring- ing" In a goo«l show here this week, presenting two burlesques, "The Sultan's Wives" and "The <;irl From Manila," which ser^e'tb Introduce as priiiilDals Sam J.

In a one-act "Carmen," was the headllner and made go«Ml. They carry their own scenery. Sey- mour and Hill scored in an acroliatic comedy turn: tlw .Vuberls are the candy as \\liirlwln<l dancers; Howard's Ponies and Dogs are well trained; Quln- lan and Kellar .Mack give a funny duologue. "Tlie IVavelling I>entlst;' liccolo .Midgets should have a ne« art, the i>ri sent one Is getting moth-eaten. New pbtures In the klnetograph wound up the bill. Mr. Will Tingle Is the well-known and popular treasurer of Shea's and he has a host of friends iiere. The Merry Maidens Company are up («» the average and the Star did well during the week. "The Maiden and the Mule." In three acts, made things interesting; George Johnson. .\llK»rt Terrell. Charles Van. Billy Si>encer. Sam Rice.

Pearl Revane sings sweetly, but her voice is hardly strong enough, although very sweet. The Smed- ley-Arthur Sketch Club in their one-act play, "Tlie Little .Mother," feature two boys who make gwsl; the sketch itself went well Swift and Buckley have more comedy than music, although they are hilled as musical artists. Their comedy is good, however, and the act went strong. Toledo and Prbe went strong. Mr. Toledo is a good contor- tionist and Miss Price a clever acrobat. Maxwell and I/e Roy singing act, good.

One of the features of the excellent bill at the Orpheum Theatre this week is Woodford and MarltM>ro in a refined playlet called "A Timely I.,«'ss«Mi." The lady menil)er of the team in her representathm of a drunken wife creates quite a hit. An<»ther very g(»od turn on the bill is Little .Miss Margeiie Barrett. This little lady gives s«nue very clever Imitations of Eva Taiiguay and (J«>orge Cohan. Carro and Carro, comedy acrobats, do a very gtstd turn and away from the ordinary run of that kind of acts. F.
